Matthew “Mizkif,” a well-known online personality, discovered a YouTuber who had openly plagiarized his popular Super Mario 64 speedrunning gameplay during a recent Rumble webcast.
He showed Emily “Emiru,” another Twitch content maker, the video. The expert cosplayer described the YouTube Shorts clip as “strange” after viewing it. Additionally, Matthew mentioned that the YouTuber had shared a livestreaming clip from Super Mario 64 that had gotten 258 million views. The Austin, Texas-based personality commented on the predicament as follows: “Those should be mine. It should all be mine. They should all be ours.”
On July 16, 2023, Mizkif planned to show Emiru “something humorous” via a livestream. He played a video from Fajah Uno’s YouTube channel titled FajahUno *SHOCKED* because Jen Foxx did this before showcasing Fajah Uno’s channel. It showed the author copying the popular Super Mario 64 speedrunning technique used by Twitch streamers. The co-founder of The One True King (OTK) made it clear that his and Emiru’s gaming was shown in the video. This individual replied, saying: “That is so weird! I’m sorry, that is so weird! (Mizkif says he finds the situation ‘hilarious’) It didn’t farm for them. It’s only 6k (views).”
The streamer was then advised by viewers to take legal action against the YouTuber under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act). Mizkif said he wouldn’t because the creator’s video has increased his popularity: “‘Collect what’s yours.’ You need to DMCA.’ No way! That’s just funny. I don’t give a s**t. You think I care? The CouRage one is still my favorite. No, chat. he literally made us.”
Emiru continued: “Yeah, I don’t think any streamer really cares when people re-post their clips. Unless they are, like… pretending to be them or something? It really happens to girls.”
As a result of Fajah Uno’s YouTube Shorts, which showcase Super Mario 64 gameplay and have received over 200 million views, Mizkif thought that the public became aware of him: “I think a lot of people know me is because of that clip. I mean, you’ve got to realize how big that clip is, dude. That clip has… you can add up all my views of any clip that I have and it’s not even a quarter of that clip. That clip is huge! It’s on its way to be 300 million views!”
